Many people will say that pursuing aspace-based solar powerenergy campaign is too ambitious, that there are more immediate solutions to get us through our economic/energy crisis until a time when spaced-aged, science fiction-inspired future tech can be safely explored further. They might say that we already have a head start with nuclear, oil and coal, as well as other greener alternatives like wind, water and Earthbound solar. They would be dead wrong.The truth is...

...we already have our foot in the door of the spaced-based solar sector. It’s just not common knowledge throughout the world, or the US.

Businesses and governments have been launching solar-powered satellites for decades. It’s high time Earthlings channeled this energy into the grid, turned it into usable electricity here on the surface, and began building up the orbiting solar assemblage to increase it’s ability to replace the non-green energy sources to which we are currently tethered.
